Anitra West, 48, was shot to death outside a Church’s Chicken in Memphis, Tennessee, on the evening of July 8, 2024, after a dispute with a customer at the drive-thru window. The customer, later identified as Monica Williams, had argued with West over payment and drove off, and West stepped outside while on the phone. The friend on the call reported hearing West say the woman with purple hair had returned, then heard West shout an expletive and a single gunshot. A coworker heard the shot, saw a vehicle speed through the parking lot, and found West with a fatal gunshot wound to the head; she died after being taken to a hospital.

Memphis police quickly identified and arrested Monica Williams on July 15, 2024. A Shelby County Grand Jury indicted Williams on first-degree murder and for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm; she is being held in Shelby County Jail without bond. West’s ex-husband said he did not believe the killing was over something as trivial as food.

If anyone was in the Church’s Chicken parking lot that evening or knew West, does any detail about the sequence of events or the vehicle stand out?
